What can you really find in Southeast Michigan parks?

Sure, we’ve got trails and trees, playgrounds and pickleball courts. But if you take a second and envision your favorite spot outdoors, you’re probably picturing something even better: a place where you can explore, connect, belong – sometimes just breathe – and not to mention, have some fun!

That’s what the latest video from SEMCOG is all about – celebrating everything you can actually find when you visit parks in our region. It’s also a reminder that finding your next outdoor adventure is easier than ever.

The Southeast Michigan ParkFinder® lets you explore parks across the region using a convenient mobile app or interactive online map. Search thousands of public outdoor recreation opportunities by their amenities, location, size, and more—including 360 degree imagery on more than 1,000 miles of trails, greenways, and paddling routes.

When people start exploring more in their own backyards, they usually start branching out to find more than they ever expected. With ParkFinder®, we know that you can find it all right here in Southeast Michigan parks – whether it’s the perfect place for your next memorable gathering, or a place where you can really get away from it all. When we share that message, our region and its communities all share the benefits.

• Interested in having your community’s parks and trails featured in our next video projects? Let us know – we’d love to collaborate!

Because parks aren’t just places on a map. They’re where we find ourselves, and each other. Help everyone find theirs – with the Southeast Michigan ParkFinder® and Trail Explorer.
